i have something

im not one to tell a tale
but i have something
i have something
i keep down deep
and maybe it's time
time to let it out
ya it's time to set it free
for all to see
so listen close
because there's only time
to tell it once
i have something
i have something
i gotta say
it might be time to pray
get down on your knees
ya close your eyes
close your ears
say your prayers
cuz it's coming
cuz it's coming
ya it's coming
it's coming for you
it's coming for you
it's coming for you
maybe you'll make it thru the night
maybe you'll see the sun
early in the morning
one last time
before you hear them calling
i have something
i have something
i keep down deep
and maybe it's time
time to let it out
ya it's time to set it free
for all of you to see
you better, you better
keep your eyes on me
you better, you better
not turn around
and pretend to leave
i'm getting sick and tired
of all this bullshit
ya i'm getting fed up
with all your lies
everything you say has no truth
everything that you do
leaves me in the dark
and you running off
why did you even try
when you never planned on
saying good bye
what made you give me empty promises
what goes on up that mind
who in the hell hurt you
that you have to hurt me too
i put in my love and my faith
only to have it crushed again
you're stepping on my heart
you're stepping on my heart
you're stepping on my heart
Baby you're crushing my soul
i don't know what i'm gonna do
i don't know what i'm gonna do
i don't know what i'm gonna do
what i'm gonna do about you
what i'm gonna do
what i'm gonna do
what i'm gonna do
what i'm gonna do about you
what i'm gonna do about you
you're stepping on my heart
you're stepping on my heart
you're stepping on my heart
Baby you're crushing my soul
what made you give me empty promises
when you never planned on
saying good bye
when you never planned on
saying good bye
ya when you never planned on
saying good bye
i have something
i have something
i keep down deep
and maybe it's time
time to let it out
ya it's time to set it free
time to let it out
time to let it out
ya it's time to let it out
set it free
set it free
set it free
ya set it free
set me free
set me free
set me free
baby why don't you
set me free
set me free
set me free

When I Have You Like This

Your kiss is.. so full of might
your taste is ..a force of delight

our lips filling each other with hope

when i have you like this

When i have you like this

when i have you like this

when i have you like this

when i have you like this

Oh let the light on in

i'm blinded by the bliss

no one else is around

when i have you like this

When i have you like this

when i have you like this

when i have you like this

when i have you like this

Holding you in my arms

feeling you close to me

the stars shine bright tonight

the moon favors us as one

when i have you like this

When i have you like this

when i have you like this

when i have you like this

when i have you like this

We could fall from the sky

we would be completely oblivious

nothing below us and nothing above us

there's no walls to close us in

when i have you like this

When i have you like this

when i have you like this

when i have you like this

when i have you like this

And when we finally come up for air

we know every thing's gonna be alright

there's not a care in this world

Two lonely hearts now full of love

you know we just can't get enough

when i have you like this

When i have you like this

when i have you like this

when i have you like this

when i have you like this

I never want to let you go

i just want time to stand still

So i can be with you forever

we can grow old together

when i have you like this

When i have you like this

when i have you like this

when i have you like this

when i have you like this

Come on darling give me a kiss

hold me as tight as you can

Show me how much you really care

don't leave me..don't let me shed a tear

when i have you like this

When i have you like this

when i have you like this

when i have you like this

when i have you like this

The Darkness has Over-grown

Laying here where the thunder rolls
off the windows of my mind it sews
day and night and night and day
it's never gonna stop don't you know

and when i rest in my new home
where the grass is always green
it's not matter if there's sun or rain
I wont  even feel their muffled feet
while their all walking right over me

why didn't we say our good byes
when we had the chance in front of me
why didn't we have it out instead of keeping it in
so now it's all sealed up for an eternity

and i don't know where i'll go
Up or down
it's a mystery from what I've done

and i don't know if i'll be sad or glad
Good or bad
you see it was all just a blur 
all the while thinking i was protecting you

somehow i can still hear them
even though their voices are faint
i don't want to let them go
but i know i have to make the plunge
dive right in and make the scene

you know
nothings familiar until it's seen
but the darkness has over grown
what was left for me to peek
so now that i'm 6 feet under
no one can hear me scream

What will they give you that i won't

What will they give you that i won't

there's not much time

to turn this around

to undo all of the harm

there's not much time

to reverse the damage

to change what's tearing us apart

you always sit so silent

turned away from me on the couch

and when i try to get close

you run to bathroom and lock the door

i just don't understand

what it was that's changed your heart

what happened to all your promises

the ones we made together in the start

there's not much time

to turn this around

to undo all of the harm

there's not much time

to reverse the damage

to change what's tearing us apart

oh what happened

to all of those soft words

oh what happened

to your loving soft touch

oh what happened

to the love you had in your heart

i think i have the right to know

is there someone else

what do they do that i don't

what did they promise you

what will they give you that i won't

there's not much time

to turn this around

to undo all of the harm

there's not much time

to reverse the damage

to change what's tearing us apart

but you have to want to try

you know i'm not going to force you

the decision has to be from your soul

but before you choose the wrong path

there's something you have to know

there's not much time

to turn this around

to undo all of the harm

there's not much time

to reverse the damage

to change what's tearing us apart

what will they give you that i won't

what will they give you that i won't

what will they give you that i won't

what do they do that i don't

what did they promise you

what will they give you that i won't

what will they give you that i won't

waiting on that last good bye

Shes always dancing
on pins and needles
egg shells cracking
underneath her feet
that's because
she never listens
to the sounds of the voices
that want to keep her down
keep her down
keep her down
to the sounds of the voices
that want to keep her down
she wakes with the sun
bright eyed and whistling
to the tune of her favorite song
she won't let anyone turn it off
it could be the worst day ever
she'll be the one humming
eyes closed oh so loud
she can be so contagious
her smile lights up everyone
that's because
she never listens
to the sounds of the voices
that want to keep her down
keep her down
keep her down
to the sounds of the voices
that want to keep her down
and you know
they try with all their might
they put up such a big ol fight
they try to break her will
trying to turn her smile upside down
but we all know they can't
and that's because
she never listens
to the sounds of the voices
that want to keep her down
keep her down
keep her down
to the sounds of the voices
that want to keep her down
shes always dancing
on pins and needles
egg shells cracking
underneath her feet
waiting on that last good bye
on that final wave
for you to look away
look away
look away
for you to look away
no time for the moon
no time to feel the blues
got to chase the Sun
gotta be the one
gotta be the one
gotta be the one
gotta be the one

It's Done

there's something wrong in the world today
there's something wrong in my world today
something just doesn't feel alright

i cant see it with my eyes
but i can sense it's there
it's just out of touch
like the smell of stale in the air

you been distant these last few months
secretive when covering up your tracks
you have to know it's not so hard
to see that you're breaking my heart

all our friends don't act the same
their eyes say what's not been said
you know you lay a heavy burden
upon each and every one of their lips

there's something wrong in the world today
there's something wrong in my world today
something just doesn't feel alright

i cant see it with my eyes
but i can sense it's there
it's just out of touch
like the smell of stale in the air

why do you feel you have do me wrong
i've bled on my knees to keep you strong
and this is how you repay my love

was there ever anything that came from you
that wasn't already hidden behind a cloud
tell me why now i should even care
they say a cheater's true colors come in blooms

so i'm sitting all alone under the moon
thinking of our love...it's demise...it's doom
the twist of fate...the words you spewed of hate
there's no turning back the hands of time

there's something wrong in the world today
there's something wrong in my world today

there's something wrong in the world today
there's something wrong in my world today

something just doesn't feel alright
something just doesn't feel alright
something just doesn't feel alright

wake up...wake up...wake up
before you drown...before you drown

wake up...wake up...wake up
before you drown...before you drown

another day and then it's done
another day...another day
another day and then it's done
it's done..it's done
it's done
you know it's done
it's done..it's done
it's done
you know it's done

something's not right
no something's not right
it's not right
it's not right
no it's not right
it's wrong
it's wrong...it's wrong
you know it's
you know
you know it's
you know
you know it's
done...it's done
it's done
this song
it's done
it's done
it's done

As Long As You Get Yours

why are we a species
that wants love and affection
and yet we do the things
that we do to each other
why won't we all listen
we let ourselves be conditioned
why can't we learn from our mistakes
decrease the number of graveyard stakes
lots of words about protections
money thrown at border detection
instead of finding a higher path to take
please feed and cloth the children
don't you see our future is with them
why don't you wake up
before it's all way too late
brother against brother
father against the mother
they say they do it for the children
but we all know it's greed
yet here we are all ears without a voice
keep them masses down at our own expense
our government wasted by oath breakers
whats next that they will take from us
they already got the shirt off my back
ya i trusted with my life and this nation
 and now that's what they all want to take
so am i supposed to lay down
and take it in the rear end
is me.. is it what i deserve
for taking the high road
trying to be a better man
that the ones that try and bring me down
oh i'm tired of all this fighting
but what else are we left in the night
tossing a turning can't help but lose my sleep
hey there Mr. politician take this bloody knife
it was passed along to me by my father
it was passed along to me by my mother
it was buried in the back of my brother
it was buried in the back of my sister
it was all that was left to me
so take it and finish me off
you might as well you treacherous bastard
cuz you only think of yourself
how you can manipulate our trust
how you can steal away our soul
how you can get away and not get caught
but one day all of this will be lost
what was the greatest thing in the world
will crumble and turn to dust
we all see you don't seem to care
as long as you get yours screw the rest
as long as you get yours screw the rest
as long as you get yours screw the rest
as long as you get yours
as long as you get yours
as long as you get yours
screw the rest
